The American Fork Cavemen had a record at the start of the game and was in first place in the region, followed by Orem If A.F. won the and Spanish Fork game they would take first place in the region and go to the Class AA tournament. If they lost it would mean third place and no chance to go to state competition. Scott Wilson kicked off for the Lions to open the game and he kicked to Kim Fox who returned to the American Fork 30 and the Cavemen started to work. Bruce Bowen, a 140 pound senior, started quarterback for A.F. and on first down Bowen attempted a pass incomplete for receiver Bill Allen. Gil Anderson picked up 5 yards on second down and it was third with 5 yards to go. Bowen to Anderson on third but tried a pitch-oAnderson fumbled and although he recovered it was a 3 yard loss and American Fork made their first punt of the game. The punt by Kirk McDaniel sailed to Brad Olson who was dropped on the Payson 31. On first down quarterback Joel Crouch ss over the middle threw a quick to end Terry Carter who made a first down at the Lion 43 and the Lions were off to a flying start. But the Lions were quickly halted as Mike Daley broke loose up the middle, the ball popped loose and Dennis Parker of the Cavemen took the ball out of the air and ran back to the 45 of A.F. The defense for both teams were very tough all day and neither the Lions or the Cavemen were able to mount a sustained drive for a score until the second half. American Fork did move the ball in the first half a couple of times only to get close and have penalties or a pass interception ruin their chances. In the first quarter running by Gil Anderson, David Durfey and a pass reception by Blake Buhler moved the ball down to the Payson 30 but a clipping penalty wiped that out and McDaniel trying to punt fumbled and Terry Carter and Gary Brimhall dumped McDaniel on the 45 of A.F. The breaks seemed to even out as the game moved on but the Lions were not able to capitalize on the fumbled punt and the first quarter ended Payson 0 and American Fork 0, The second quarter opened with the Cavemen moving on the Lion defense with Blake Buhler, David Durfey and Gil Anderson picking up yardage. The ball was moved from the A.F. 26 down to the Payson 20. The Cavemen looked like they might go right in but Bowen threw a pass that was intercepted by Gary Weight. Weight was dropped on the Lion 5 and the Lions had temporarily staved off the A.F. 7- -1 25 Chad Smith scampers out of end zone after scoring winning T.

The Blue Flame breaks speed record The Blue Flame," the natural gas industrys sleek racing car, set a new worlds land speed record of 622.407 miles per hour on Friday, October 23, at the Bonneville Salt Flats, The old record of 600,601 mph had stood since 1965.

On the first leg of his run, he reached a speed of 617.602 mph and on the return leg 627. 287 mph. His new average record speed of 622.407 mph is 3.6 percent above the old record. The Blue Flame had been at the Salt Flats since September 14 and had come close to setting a new record on several occasions. On October 18, for example, the car achieved a one-wspeed of 621.624 mph but developed a fuel leak before it could make the return run. Later on October 18, after the leak had been repaired, The Blue Flame was driven twice through the measured mile at an average speed of 601.655 mph which, although faster than the old record, was not sufficiently great enough to be recognized as a new record. Rules of the United States Auto Club require that a new record must exceed the old by one percent to be officially recognized. Perhaps the racing vehicle ever to test the Salt Flats, The Blue Flame was built by Reaction May still hunt Deer hunters who were unsuccessful during the regular deer season which closes October 27 have several areas where they may still hunt deer.

Three day hunts The following hunting units will only have a three day hunt this year. It will begin on November 7 and end on November 9. The units in the South Utah County area having this three day hunt are; Spanish Fork unit, Benjamin unit, Lake Shore unit, and the West Mountain unit. Conducting study The Utah State Division of Fish and Game and the Wildlife Research Unit of Utah State University are presently conducting a joint study in Utah County to determine the amount of mercury deposited in the tissue of pheasants. A team of Fish & Game officers are collecting birds from five different areas in the county which will be thoroughly analyzed by the Wildlife Research Unit. Samples are also being collected from eight other important pheasant areas in the state as part of a study to determine the incidence of pesticide resides in wildlife. It has been determined from earlier studies that pheasants in certain areas have been found to contain toxic mercury residues. It is highly suspected that the mercury is being picked up by the birds from grain seed that is being treated with chemicals containing various compounds that include mercury. The fact that mercury has been found in pheasants is cause for concern, but is certainly no cause for alarm at this time, according to a Fish & Game biologist. The results of the study will be made available to the public as soon as the tests-arcompleted. 15.

Weight returned back to the Lion 42 with little time remaining in the second quarter. The Lions gave the ball right back as Crouch attempted a screen pass and Steve Dean of the Cavemen came up with an interception on the 49 or Payson. The Lions defense became very stiff and attempted passes were broken up, the runners were held in check and the clock ran out with the score American Fork 0 and Payson 0. The third quarter continued in the same pattern as the first and second quarters with both teams kicking the ball back and forth and not being able to score. American Fork kicked off and stopped the Lions quickly in the third quarter. The Lions returned the play as fine defensive tactics by Tom Horn and Gary Brimhall forced the Cavemen to punt. The ball was put in play on the Payson 27. American Fork got a golden opportunity as the Lions suffered a bad break on the next set of plays. Crouch handing to Gary Weight got yards out to the 33 but Mike Daley fumbled going up the middle and A.F. recovered on the 40 yard line of Payson. Gil Anderson carried for 5 yards to the 35 but on a delayed handoff to Kim Fox on second down Fox was dropped for a yard loss.

Weight went to the 14 making it third and 7. Mike Daley picked up 5 yards to the 10 of American Fork and it was fourth and 2 to go, American Fork had its back to the wall. They needed desperately to hold or they would have to comeback late in the game to win. If they lost they would also suffer "the loss of the region championship. The Lions called on Weight and he picked up the first down at the American Fork 8. Smith got 2 yards to the 6 on first down and then Smith went in for the score. He was hit at the goal line but good second effort pushed him through and the Lions The extra point attempt by the led Lions was no good and with about 4:00 left on the clock the score was Payson 6 and American Fork 0. The kickoff by Wilson went to Durfey who returned to the 25. A clipping penalty on the Cavemen put the ball on the 10 yard line with about 3:00 minutes left. Anderson picked up 1 yard on first down.

FRIDAYS RESULTS Payson 6, Provo 47, American Fork Pleasant Grove 0 7 Orem 41, Carbon 6 Spanish Fork 28, Uintah Springville 3, Lehi 0 0 Deer harvest big Preliminary reports from two major Division of Fish and Game checking stations indicate that Utah s 1 970 deer harvest for the opening weekend has surpassed the five year average. Figures kept for the first three days of operation at checking stations in Daniels Canyon and Santa Clara show a substantial increase in hunter success over the 1969 opening weekend. Poor weather caused a reduced hunter success in 1969, but the 1970 figures also exceed the five year average for opening weekend success. Conflicting reports from various areas of the state indicate that some parties had good hunting while others 'in the same area failed to see deer. Continued good weather should help to produce a deer harvest comparable to past years where an average of 160,000 hunters took approximately 90,000 deer annually.

Welcome news for holders of swan permits is the report from Division water-fobiologists that whistling swans are already on Utah marshes. Most of the swans are now on the Bear River and Ogden Bay Areas. Only holders of swan permits are allowed to take swan and other waterfowl hunters in the area should be sure they do not mistake the large, birds for snow geese. Pheasant hunting in the Spanish Fork West Field Hunting Unit will be limited to three days only, according to an announcement by Mr. Mark Hansen and Ronald Nielsen, representing the committee of landowners.

Democratic Candidate for Utah County Sheriff As Chief of Police of Provo for the past 14 years, I have operated one of the best organized and efficient Police Departments in Utah County. I now want the opportunity to do the same for the Utah County Sherriffs Department. I have a firm conviction that good law enforcement cannot be tainted with politics. The unincorporated areas of Utah County should receive the same quality of protection as the cities provide. It is the responsibility of the sheriffs office to provide that protection. I am concerned about the ever increasing crime and drug abuse problem among our youth. We must strengthen law enforcement in our county if we intend to control this crime problem. I have always worked in close cooperation with all law enforcement agencies, particularly within this county. If elected Sheriff I pledge to strengthen my ties with Chiefs of Police in this county. There is greater strength where there is complete cooperation and unity. The rising crime rate in the United States should make us realize that good law enforcement is most essential to the citizens of this county. I believe in crime prevention and have geared my law enforcement program to that end. Through-omy police career I have always maintained an open door policy, so that people may meet and discuss mutual problems with me. If elected Sheriff, this policy will remain ut in effect. Law enforcement is a demanding profession and those directing the enforcement agencies must bring organizational abilities and dedication to the job. This I offer to you the citizens of Utah County.
